Things to say about a holiday present

you know, the ones you don't like given by those we DO like (or have to pretend we like):

my list...

Hey! There's a gift!
Well, well, well ...
Boy, if I had not recently shot up 4 sizes that would've fit.
This is perfect for wearing around the basement.
Gosh. I hope this never catches fire! It is fire season though. There are lots of unexplained fires.

Well this is.. fun...
I'm sure it will look great on that homeless guy on the corner, it really matches his skin tone better than mine...
I'm in such a giving mood lately, I must give this to Goodwill. It's all the the holiday spirit!

You know, it's fine and dandy to get gifts you will never use or ever wear.... just smile, say thank you, and give an gracious oscar-worthy performance. I can't stand gift-givers who proceed to tell how much the gift cost them.... like my bf's mother would say: "these were buy 1 get one free." How am I suppose to act in such a situation???

hence the concept of this thread..... *wink* after all, who says FoRT can't be a learning tool...

I'd probably just say "Oh, thank you very much!" and as Shayla said, "Thanks for thinking of me."

Really, it's not that hard for me to act appreciative of presents, because I'm glad that whoever it was took the time to think of me and get me a little something. If they start talking about the price, I ignore them.
